Tv MAROON Vol. 60, X 0.6 Loyola University, New Orleans October 2, 1981 Alcohol abuse ends KA-KA, luau By Ted Mahne Maroon Reporter Alcohol abuse has led to the cancellation of future Alpha Delta Gamma fraternity KA-KA parties and Pi Kappa Theta fraternity luaus, according to Vincent P. Knipfing, vice president for Student Affairs. Knipfing told the presidents of ADG and PKT that their charters will be revoked if such events as KA-KA and the luau continue to be held. A committee is being formed to help cut down the amount of parties in which the abuse of alcohol is "glorified," Knipfing said. It will be composed of members of the administration, faculty and student body. Knipfing said the committee will disband after alcohol abuse on campus is under control. Danna Center Director Manny Cunard, adviser to the interfraternity council, said he was unaware of the committee's formation. "On this campus, as well as most others, alcohol presents a significant problem with long-term implications," Cunard said. He said fraternities "tend to get into a track of social programming and tend to lose sight of other activities they could have on campus." Martin Cuniff, interfraternity council member and ADG president, said, "Fraternities have been too loosely regulated and should be regulated tighter in the future." But Cunard said, "We have always had specific regulations for campus organizations. I don't believe this year is different from others in that respect." Cunard said that this year "there has been a more conscious effort to examine fraternity values and their contributions to this institution as well as individuals." Mike Tifft, a PKT rush chairman, said while he believes Knipfing's decision was well-meant, "1 also think it was an overreaction to the situation. Students will be students, and this decision will not curtail drinking, but it will destroy an integral part of campus life." Knipfing also wants the organizations to quit using alcohol as the prominent feature in advertising the parties.He'd like these organizations to "offer alternatives for people who don't drink." Knipfing said he heard many people were very sick after KA-KA and several people were brought to the hospital. He also said people were hurting themselves by falling at the PKT skating party because some of them had too much to drink before skating. Cuniff said ADG "regrets the decision [to discontinue KA-KA and other parties] but can see the reasons for it. "I think, as president of ADG, that the decision is well-intentioned, but the student opinion hasn't been considered enough," Cuniff said. Knipfing said he is not against alcohol, but against its abuse. "Because Loyola is an academic institution, the organizations must be contributing members of the academic community," Knipfing said. Chiefs hail Reagan as demonstrators protest By Glenn P. Collins Maroon Reporter There were an estimated 200 demonstrators outside the Rivergate Monday protesting President Reagan's speech before the International Association of Chiefs of Police. Among those demonstrating were the New Orleans Coalition in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador. Some protesters marched around the Rivergate carrying signs saying 'Stop Reagan.' Their objections to Reagan policy ranged from abortion and budget cuts to social security and equal rights for women. One protester carried a sign saying 'You can't have the E and the R without the A.' A confrontation almost developed between these demonstrators and a protester carrying a 'God Bless Reagan' sign. New Orleans police quickly eased the situation. In his speech Reagan outlined his plan to fight crime in America. Addressing the chiefs, the president said, "You have one of the toughest jobs in America. Thank you for all the unremembered things you do each day — and always remember you do have our support and our unfailing gratitude." Reagan spoke of "the steady, ominous growth of crime in our nation." He said, "In the past decade violent crime has increased by 59 percent. Crime is an American OIC will not publish next week due to the Oktoberfest holiday and niid-tcrin examinations. Our next issue will be published October 16. epidemic. Crime lias continued on the upswing — so has the percentage of crime committed by youthful offenders between 18 and 21." Reagan outlined steps the federal government is going to take to assist in the fight against crime. First, the administration intends to speak out on the problem of crime. "1 believe that this focusing of public attention on crime is one of the most important things we can do." Second, "In talking out about crime, we intend to speak for a group that has been frequently overlooked in the past — the innocent victims of crime." He said, "this administration will support a number of statutory reforms that will redress the imbalance between rights of the accused and rights of the innocent." Reagan also stressed the need for "prompt passage of legislation that revises the federal criminal code. This will be the foundation of an effective federal effort against crime." The administration is looking for closer cooperation with the states and localities on penal and correctional matters. "We have recently established a Bureau of Prisons Clearinghouse, which will locate surplus federal property that might be used as sites for state and local correctional facilities," Reagan said. This note received approval from the chiefs. On a very controversial subject, Reagan said, "We also support the reform of the exclusionary rule. This rule rests on the absurd proposition that a law enforcement error, no matter how technical, can be used to justify throwing an entire case out of court, no matter how guilty the defendant or how atrocious the crime." Reagan also said, "We will support mandatory prison terms for those who carry a gun while committing a felony." This brought a strong ovation from the chiefs. Reagan then turned to the problem of drug trafficking and outlined his major points for narcotics enforcement strategy. He said he will establish a Special Council on Narcotics Control consisting of the Attorney General and the Secretaries of State, Defense, the Treasury and others "to coordinate efforts to stop the drug flow into this country." Reagan was received well by the chiefs, who gave overwhelming support for his plans.
